Synopsis

The episode starts off with the clams migrating to warmer climates. SpongeBob is eager to see them and takes his eyes out of his sockets to get a better view. Meanwhile, Patrick makes his eyes like binoculars. SpongeBob sees all the different kinds of clams including the Soft Shell Clam, the Hard Shell Clam, the Giant Clam, and the Razor Clam. SpongeBob then takes bits of Krabby Patties as bait to lure the clams closer for a better view. Patrick then feels hungry and eats all of the bait with his tongue from the ground. SpongeBob notices and waits for Patrick to fall asleep. After he falls asleep, SpongeBob secretly takes out the bits of Krabby Patties to lure them once again for it to eventually work. Squidward notices and is not too happy with the idea. The clams enter and make a mess of his house. The clams then make a mess on Squidward for shouting at SpongeBob. Squidward, annoyed, takes a bath stating he will never be clean again.

However, SpongeBob tries to get the clams away from him, but they instead result to follow him. So he decides to take them with him. As a result of the clams stealing others' food, SpongeBob takes them to the Krusty Krab, shouting "Don't steal anyone's food." Only for this to result in all of them to not listen.

Squidward then finds SpongeBob with the clams saying "Not again I just got clean!" and runs off. Mr. Krabs comes out wondering what happened and puts him under the boat. He then asks "What in barnacles is happening out there?" SpongeBob responds with saying that they were stealing the customers' food.
